Here’s a selection of bookstores we love writing about. Books on Main Books on Main feels like you’re reading inside a treehouse in a Wisconsin forest. It opened in June 2023. Local residents have a welcoming place decorated with wood, leaves and comfortable furniture to gather and discover new and beloved books. Off the Beaten Path Bookstore First opened more than 30 years ago, Off the Beaten Path has been through three sets of owners and three locations. Current owners Mike and Danielle Skov say one thing has never changed: The commitment to being a welcoming and inclusive space. They partner with local schools, libraries and nonprofits to reach as much of the community as possible. Changing Hands Bookstore Too popular to be called a hidden gem (宝石), this Arizona jewel recently celebrated its50th anniversary. It first opened in a 500-square-foot space in 1974. It hosts author events, poetry discussion groups and offers a Trade Counter where customers can bring in gently used books for store credit. The Last Chapter Book Shop The Last Chapter is an all-romance bookstore in Chicago that opened in 2023. The store hosts author events along with community mixers like Blind Date with a Book, where you wrap one of your favorite books and swap it with a fellow bookworm in hopes of finding a new favorite and a new friend. 1.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。介绍了“独立书店日”这一活动，并特别推荐了几家具有特色的书店，包括它们的背景、特点、活动等信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Books on Main下的“It opened in June 2023.(它于2023年6月开业)”，Off the Beaten Path Bookstore下的“First opened more than 30 years ago, Off the Beaten Path has been through three sets of owners and three locations.(Off the人迹罕至的小路(Off the Beaten Path)于30多年前开业，至今已经历了三组业主和三个地点)”，Changing Hands Bookstore下的“It first opened in a 500-square-foot space in 1974.(1974年，它在一个500平方英尺的空间里首次开业)”以及The Last Chapter Book Shop下的“The Last Chapter is an all-romance bookstore in Chicago that opened in 2023.(The Last Chapter是一家位于芝加哥的浪漫书店，于2023年开业)”可知，Changing Hands Bookstore.于1974年开业，历史最悠久。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Off the Beaten Path Bookstore下的“They partner with local schools, libraries and nonprofits to reach as much of the community as possible.(他们与当地学校、图书馆和非营利组织合作，尽可能多地接触社区)”可知，Off the Beaten Path Bookstore的特别之处是它与当地学校合作。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Last Chapter Book Shop下的“The store hosts author events along with community mixers like Blind Date with a Book, where you wrap one of your favorite books and swap it with a fellow bookworm in hopes of finding a new favorite and a new friend.(书店会举办作家活动，同时还会举办一些社区活动，比如“书之相亲”(Blind Date with a Book)。在这里，你可以把自己最喜欢的一本书包起来，与其他书迷交换，希望能找到自己的新欢和新朋友)”可知，在Blind Date with a Book上人们可以与爱读书的人交换书籍。故选D项。 B Jasmine is on my Zoom screen. She is pulling her hair. As she starts talking, the rate of the pulling increases.“ My exam is on Friday,” she tells me, “What if I get a question I can’t answer? What if I don’t get a good grade?” Jasmine is just one of the students suffering from test anxiety. The word “anxiety” originates from Latin, meaning narrowing. The “narrowing” describes what’s happening in Jasmine’s nervous system. Basically, the sympathetic (交感神经) branch — fight-or-flight — has switched on, and her muscles have narrowed as if she’s preparing to do battle or run away. Commonly known the “rest and digest” branch, the parasympathetic (副交感神经)nervous system plays an important role in thinking and learning by promoting a state of relaxation and calmness. When the parasympathetic nervous system is stirred up, it reduces stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration. There are three simple tools for engaging the parasympathetic branch: breathing, grounding, and sensing. Breathing means a steady flow of breath; grounding means feeling the chair and the floor supporting you; and sensing means turning on one or more of the five senses. In more than 40 years of coaching test-takers, I have observed how often they hold their breath, how nervous and ungrounded they are, and how unaware they are of feeling the touch of clothes on their own bodies. No wonder people are exhausted by the end of a long test! When they use the three calming tools, they create the state necessary for sitting still, thinking, remembering, reasoning, and, finally, answering questions. We all face countless tests in everyday life. Unexpected, unwanted things happen to everyone. Wouldn’t it be a whole lot better if we faced the tests by being calm? In case you’re wondering, the answer is “Yes!” But the real question is: Instead of forcing students to progress through endless comparison and competition, why don’t we teach them how to stay calm? 4. Why does the author mention Jasmine in the first paragraph? A. To show students’ hard life. B. To introduce a problem students face. C. To compare different attitudes towards tests. D. To analyse students’ behaviors during video calls. 5. What change would the engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system bring? A. Improved attention. B. Worsened anxiety. C. Tightened muscles. D. Quickened response. 6. From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer thinks it important . A. to take some tests to make progress B. to attach importance to comparison and competition C. to learn to avoid unexpected and unwanted things in life D. to prepare students with the ways to keep calm during tests 7. What is the text mainly about? A. What do students face in tests? B. How to deal with test anxiety? C. How to engage the nervous system? D. What is the origin of the word “anxiety”? 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了学生面临考试焦虑的问题以及应对方法。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是如何应对考试焦虑。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Jasmine is on my Zoom screen. She is pulling her hair. As she starts talking, the rate of the pulling increases.“ My exam is on Friday,” she tells me, “What if I get a question I can’t answer? What if I don’t get a good grade?”(贾斯敏在我的 Zoom屏幕上。她在拉着他的头发。当她开始说话时，拉扯的速度增加了。“我的考试是在周五，”她告诉我，“如果我遇到一道答不上来的题怎么办？如果我没有取得好成绩怎么办？”)”以及第二段“Jasmine is just one of the students suffering from test anxiety.(贾思敏只是遭受考试焦虑的学生之一)”可知，作者在第一段提到Jasmine是为了介绍学生面临的问题。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When the parasympathetic nervous system is stirred up, it reduces stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration.(当副交感神经系统被激发时，它会减少压力和焦虑，提高注意力和集中力)”可知，副交感神经系统的参与会提高注意力。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wouldn’t it be a whole lot better if we faced the tests by being calm? In case you’re wondering, the answer is “Yes!” But the real question is: Instead of forcing students to progress through endless comparison and competition, why don’t we teach them how to stay calm?(如果我们冷静地面对考验，不是会好得多吗？如果你想知道，答案是“是的！”真正的问题是:与其强迫学生通过无休止的比较和竞争来进步，我们为什么不教他们如何保持冷静呢?)”可知，作者认为让学生在考试中保持冷静的方法是很重要的。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“We all face countless tests in everyday life. Unexpected, unwanted things happen to everyone. Wouldn’t it be a whole lot better if we faced the tests by being calm? In case you’re wondering, the answer is “Yes!” But the real question is: Instead of forcing students to progress through endless comparison and competition, why don’t we teach them how to stay calm?( 我们在日常生活中都面临着无数的考验。每个人都会遇到意想不到的、不想要的事情。如果我们冷静地面对考验，不是会好得多吗?如果你想知道，答案是“是的!”但真正的问题是：与其强迫学生通过无休止的比较和竞争来进步，我们为什么不教他们如何保持冷静呢？)”结合文章主要说明了学生面临考试焦虑的问题以及应对方法。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是如何应对考试焦虑。故选B。 C “Big Tree,” an old southern live oak, sits in a park just outside Orlando’s business district. It’s been struck by lightning at least three times and has survived many hurricanes — and it grew from a seed around the same time Juan Ponce de León’s ship first landed on Florida’s eastern coast. Over 400 years old, the tree is so impressive that members of a Michigan-based nonprofit flew to Orlando in February to climb the tree and cut branches and leaves. The researchers are now in the midst of the process to grow new roots from the cuttings. The reason: To clone the historic tree, store its DNA and plant potentially thousands of cloned trees across the Southeast. In order to clone an ancient tree, researchers must climb it to find a piece of live tissue. The freshly cut branches and leaves are taken to the group’s lab in Michigan, where, in climate-controlled rooms, researchers work to promote growth from the cuttings. The most common method is by rooted cuttings. In this method, a tip of a tree’s branch is dipped (蘸) into hormones, placed into a foam plug (泡沫塞) and set inside a mist room. Then, the waiting begins. A sign of life can take several months to a year to show, if one comes at all. In another method called tissue culture, researchers take a quarter-inch of branch, dip it into a mixture made up of a dozen hormones and other chemicals, seal(密封) it in a container and wait to see whether it will grow roots. Experts ‘lauded the group for its creative methods and reproduction in large numbers, but they doubt whether the clones will grow as the originals do. Scott Merkle, a professor of forest biology at the University of Georgia, said, “There are so many variables that there’s no certainty that they will be able to survive and perform better than other trees that you plant on the same land”. He added that the age of historic trees makes them difficult to study. “I think it’s a great thing that they’re doing…I just don’t know how realistic it is.” 8. According to the passage, what do the researchers aim to do? A. To clone an ancient tree from its original. B. To save thousands of trees across the Southeast. C. To analyse the effects of climate on tree growth. D. To study the reason for the survival of “Big Tree”. 9. What do we know about the two methods mentioned in paragraph 4? A. Tissue culture is the most frequently used method. B. There is a chance that the branch will fail to grow roots. C. In the first method the live tissue is sealed in a container. D. A mixture of hormones and other chemicals is needed in both methods. 10. What does the underlined word “lauded” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Joined. B. Charged. C. Praised. D. Contacted. 11. What’s Scott Merkle’s attitude to the group’s work? A. Cautious. B. Critical. C. Approving. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。坐落在奥兰多商业区外的一个公园里的一棵古老的南方橡树已有400多年的历史，目前，研究人员在树上剪下树枝和树叶，将其带到该团队位于密歇根州的实验室，目的是克隆这棵历史悠久的树，储存它的 DNA。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The researchers are now in the midst of the process to grow new roots from the cuttings. The reason: To clone the historic tree, store its DNA and plant potentially thousands of cloned trees across the Southeast.(研究人员目前正在从插枝上培育新根。原因是：为了克隆这棵历史悠久的树，储存它的 DNA，并在东南部种植数千棵克隆树)”可知，研究人员的目的是从原树中克隆一棵古树。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The most common method is by rooted cuttings. In this method, a tip of a tree’s branch is dipped ( 蘸) into hormones, placed into a foam plug ( 泡沫塞) and set inside a mist room. Then, the waiting begins. A sign of life can take several months to a year to show, if one comes at all. In another method called tissue culture, researchers take a quarter-inch of branch, dip it into a mixture made up of a dozen hormones and other chemicals, seal(密封) it in a container and wait to see whether it will grow roots.(最常见的方法是生根扦插。在这种方法中，将树枝的尖端浸入激素中，放入泡沫塞中，并放置在雾室中。然后，等待就开始了。如果有的话，生命迹象可能需要几个月到一年的时间才会显现。在另一种称为组织培养的方法中，研究人员取四分之一英寸长的树枝，将其浸入由十几种激素和其他化学物质组成的混合物中，将其密封在容器中，然后等待看它是否会生根。)”可知，在描述这两种方法时，作者用了“if one comes at all(如果有的话)”和“whether it will grow roots(是否会生根)”等字眼，由此可推知，这两种方法都有可能导致树枝无法生根。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“Experts ‘lauded the group for its creative methods and reproduction in large numbers, but they doubt whether the clones will grow as the originals do.(专家们对该组织的创新方法和大量繁殖表示lauded，但他们怀疑克隆体是否会像原代植物那样生长。)”中的but可知，前后是转折关系，虽然专家们对克隆体是否会像原代植物那样生长表示怀疑，但是他们对该组织的创新方法和大量繁殖表示称赞，划线单词表示“称赞”，与C项“Praised.(赞美)”意思相近，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Scott Merkle所说的话“He added that the age of historic trees makes them difficult to study. “I think it’s a great thing that they’re doing…I just don’t know how realistic it is.”(他补充说，古树的年龄使得研究它们变得困难。“我认为他们正在做的事情很棒……我只是不知道这有多现实。”)”可知，Scott Merkle对这一团队的工作表示赞美，同时他也表示了自己的担忧，由此可推知，他的态度是谨慎的，故选A。 D Free-riding means people can benefit from a service without paying anything. It also arises if people can get benefit without making equal contributions. So a free rider always enjoys the benefits of a resource or service while letting someone else do the work or do more work. There are several effects of the free rider problem. The first is the Tragedy (悲剧) of the Commons, a situation in which individuals with access to a public resource act in their own interest and, in doing so, finally use up the resource. For example, imagine that a group of people share a piece of land where they all graze (让……吃草) their cattle. If each person just tries to maximize their own short-term gain, they will let their cattle graze as much as possible. However, if everyone does this, the land will quickly become overgrazed and will not be able to support any cattle. Another effect is that the free rider problem can lead to a situation in which people do not have access to important goods and services. This is because providers may not be able to get back the costs of providing the goods or services if too many people free ride. Imagine that a city decides to build a new hospital through donations. If too many people rely on others to donate, rather than donate themselves, then the hospital may not be built at all. This means that people who need medical care in the area may not have access to it. There are several solutions to the free rider problem. Government addresses the problem by collecting tax dollars to support public services. Theoretically, taxes are related to income, so fair cost-sharing can be achieved. Communities can turn their public resource into a private or club resource, charging fees to make sure everyone who uses it contributes to it. This will limit overuse and, over time, may even lead to altruistic (利他的) behavior. That is, many people may like the idea of making a small contribution to a resource that they use. 12. Which of the following may best show the nature of free-riding? A. Less is more. B. Many hands make light work. C. Let George do it. D. Jack of all trades and master of none. 13. What is one of the effects produced by the free rider problem? A. People tend to maximize their long-term gain. B. A group of people have to share goods and services. C. Individuals overuse a shared resource for personal gain. D. The costs of providing the goods and services are rising. 14. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed? A. By referring to a study. B. By giving an example. C. By making a comparison. D. By explaining a definition. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To draw people’s attention to public services. B. To stress the importance of making donations. C. To inform the readers of the free rider problem. D. To call on the government to solve the free rider problem. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章客观地解释了“搭便车”现象的概念、所带来的影响以及提出的一些解决措施。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Free-riding means people can benefit from a service without paying anything. It also arises if people can get benefit without making equal contributions. So a free rider always enjoys the benefits of a resource or service while letting someone else do the work or do more work. (搭便车意味着人们无需支付任何费用就可以从一项服务中获益。如果人们不做出同等的贡献就能获得利益，也会出现这种情况。所以搭便车者总是享受某种资源或服务的好处，而让别人做这些工作或做更多的工作)”可知，选项C“Let George do it. (让乔治来做吧。)” 最能体现搭便车的本质，意味着让别人去做事，而自己享受成果，符合搭便车者不付出成本却享受利益的行为特点。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第二段中的“There are several effects of the free rider problem. The first is the Tragedy (悲剧) of the Commons, a situation in which individuals with access to a public resource act in their own interest and, in doing so, finally use up the resource. (搭便车问题有几个影响。第一种是“公共地悲剧”，在这种情况下，拥有公共资源的个人为了自己的利益而行动，最终耗尽了资源)”可知，搭便车问题产生的影响之一是共享资源因个人追求私利而被过度使用。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Another effect is that the free rider problem can lead to a situation in which people do not have access to important goods and services. This is because providers may not be able to get back the costs of providing the goods or services if too many people free ride. Imagine that a city decides to build a new hospital through donations. If too many people rely on others to donate, rather than donate themselves, then the hospital may not be built at all. This means that people who need medical care in the area may not have access to it. (另一个影响是搭便车问题可能导致人们无法获得重要商品和服务的情况。这是因为如果太多人免费乘车，供应商可能无法收回提供商品或服务的成本。想象一下，一个城市决定通过捐赠建立一所新医院。如果太多的人依靠别人来捐赠，而不是自己捐赠，那么医院可能根本就建不起来。这意味着该地区需要医疗服务的人可能无法获得医疗服务)”可知，第三段通过举例说明了免费搭车问题的一个影响，即假设一个城市试图通过捐赠建立新医院的情景来阐述如果太多人期望他人捐款而非自己行动，可能会导致医院建不成的结果。因此，该段落主要通过举例子展开论述。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Free-riding means people can benefit from a service without paying anything. It also arises if people can get benefit without making equal contributions. So a free rider always enjoys the benefits of a resource or service while letting someone else do the work or do more work. (搭便车意味着人们无需支付任何费用就可以从一项服务中获益。如果人们不做出同等的贡献就能获得利益，也会出现这种情况。所以搭便车者总是享受某种资源或服务的好处，而让别人做这些工作或做更多的工作)”和最后一段中“There are several solutions to the free rider problem. (有几种解决搭便车问题的方法)”可知，文章整体介绍了什么是搭便车问题、它产生的几个效应以及针对这一问题的几种解决方案。其主要目的是告知读者搭便车问题的存在及其影响，以及可能的解决办法。故选C。 第二节 (共5 小题;每小题2.5分,满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s natural to compare yourself to others, and even envy them, if you hop on your social media for a few minutes.

It was our first day to explore the city of Moscow on our own, without a friend or tour guide leading the way. My husband and I had completed a week-long tour and felt confident that we could wander through the streets by ourselves now. We had enjoyed a full day of exploration when suddenly the sky turned from clear blue to gray. “It’s time to head back!” I said. As we went on along the road to our hotel, Kvart, the storm clouds covered the entire sky, and the first raindrops began to hit our heads. “Should we grab a taxi?” I yelled, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “No, we can make it,” my husband boomed back. “It’s only a twenty-minute walk.” As the rain and wind increased, so did our footsteps. The streets had turned into roaring rivers that quickly soaked our shoes. Suddenly, the biggest eruption of thunder I had ever experienced sounded directly above us! I thought my heart truly stopped for- that moment. We hurried forward, but it wasn’t long before we realized that we had been walking much longer than it should have taken us to reach our hotel. Where on earth did we take the wrong turn? We had not bought international phone cards, so we couldn’t call for help, and the streets were empty. Suddenly we noticed some lights on at a gas station. Great, at least we could ask someone there for help! As we approached it, two men were refueling their Chevrolet car. We asked them how to get to Kvart. They didn’t reply but managed a friendly no d and smile. We went on to explain the situation with the few awkward Russian phrases we had just learned. They listened intently, but it was obvious that they were becoming increasingly confused. We had to try our luck back on the street, praying deep down, “Please, send angels to lead us back.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右;. (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then a familiar Chevrolet-car pulled up besides us... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally they understood what we meant. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then a familiar Chevrolet car pulled up beside us. It was the same car we had seen earlier at the gas station. The driver rolled down the window and waved at us with the other man beside him, saying a few words in Russian. Although we didn’t understand the language, we quickly resorted to gestures, wanting to grasp the last straw. Suddenly, my husband got an idea. He rummaged through the bag, pulled out the hotel card and pointed frantically to it with the repeated word “Kvart”, hoping they would understand. Thankfully, the driver nodded and the other man typed Kvart into his phone map and and showed us, as if asking us for confirmation. Seeing this, we nodded desperately and gave thumbs-up signs. Finally they understood what we meant. And more fortunately, they offered to escort us back to the hotel. The driver started the engine and the other man beside him occasionally glanced at us with a reassuring smile. We felt safe and secure, though the streets were still deserted and the rain was relentless. After what seemed like an eternity, we arrived and the rain began to let up. The driver parked the car and opened the door for us. We thanked them profusely, but they just smiled and left. We walked into the hotel, feeling exhausted but grateful. Angels had led us back to safety, and we knew that it was because we had trusted and believed in them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和丈夫在莫斯科旅行，半路下起了暴雨，两人被困在路上，还迷了路。这时一个好心的司机帮助了他们，送他们回到了安全的地方。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，一辆熟悉的雪佛兰汽车停在了我们旁边”可知，第一段可描写他们和司机交流的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们终于明白了我们的意思”可知，第二段可描写司机安全送回了他们，他们十分感激。 2.续写线索：司机出现——语言不通——指认地图——司机护送——作者感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grasp/seize ②求助于：resort to/turn to ③输入：type/text 情绪类 ①幸运：fortunately/luckily ②感谢：thank/show gratitude to 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although we didn’t understand the language, we quickly resorted to gestures, wanting to grasp the last straw.

Exchange books with book-lovers. B Jasmine is on my Zoom screen. She is pulling her hair. As she starts talking, the rate of the pulling increases.“ My exam is on Friday,” she tells me, “What if I get a question I can’t answer? What if I don’t get a good grade?” Jasmine is just one of the students suffering from test anxiety. The word “anxiety” originates from Latin, meaning narrowing. The “narrowing” describes what’s happening in Jasmine’s nervous system. Basically, the sympathetic (交感神经) branch — fight-or-flight — has switched on, and her muscles have narrowed as if she’s preparing to do battle or run away. Commonly known the “rest and digest” branch, the parasympathetic (副交感神经)nervous system plays an important role in thinking and learning by promoting a state of relaxation and calmness. When the parasympathetic nervous system is stirred up, it reduces stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration. There are three simple tools for engaging the parasympathetic branch: breathing, grounding, and sensing. Breathing means a steady flow of breath; grounding means feeling the chair and the floor supporting you; and sensing means turning on one or more of the five senses. In more than 40 years of coaching test-takers, I have observed how often they hold their breath, how nervous and ungrounded they are, and how unaware they are of feeling the touch of clothes on their own bodies. No wonder people are exhausted by the end of a long test! When they use the three calming tools, they create the state necessary for sitting still, thinking, remembering, reasoning, and, finally, answering questions. We all face countless tests in everyday life. Unexpected, unwanted things happen to everyone. Wouldn’t it be a whole lot better if we faced the tests by being calm? In case you’re wondering, the answer is “Yes!” But the real question is: Instead of forcing students to progress through endless comparison and competition, why don’t we teach them how to stay calm? 4. Why does the author mention Jasmine in the first paragraph? A. To show students’ hard life. B. To introduce a problem students face. C. To compare different attitudes towards tests. D. To analyse students’ behaviors during video calls. 5. What change would the engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system bring? A. Improved attention. B. Worsened anxiety. C. Tightened muscles. D. Quickened response. 6. From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer thinks it important . A. to take some tests to make progress B to attach importance to comparison and competition C. to learn to avoid unexpected and unwanted things in life D. to prepare students with the ways to keep calm during tests 7. What is the text mainly about? A. What do students face in tests? B. How to deal with test anxiety? C. How to engage the nervous system? D. What is the origin of the word “anxiety”? C “Big Tree,” an old southern live oak, sits in a park just outside Orlando’s business district. It’s been struck by lightning at least three times and has survived many hurricanes — and it grew from a seed around the same time Juan Ponce de León’s ship first landed on Florida’s eastern coast. Over 400 years old, the tree is so impressive that members of a Michigan-based nonprofit flew to Orlando in February to climb the tree and cut branches and leaves. The researchers are now in the midst of the process to grow new roots from the cuttings. The reason: To clone the historic tree, store its DNA and plant potentially thousands of cloned trees across the Southeast. In order to clone an ancient tree, researchers must climb it to find a piece of live tissue. The freshly cut branches and leaves are taken to the group’s lab in Michigan, where, in climate-controlled rooms, researchers work to promote growth from the cuttings. The most common method is by rooted cuttings. In this method, a tip of a tree’s branch is dipped (蘸) into hormones, placed into a foam plug (泡沫塞) and set inside a mist room. Then, the waiting begins. A sign of life can take several months to a year to show, if one comes at all. In another method called tissue culture, researchers take a quarter-inch of branch, dip it into a mixture made up of a dozen hormones and other chemicals, seal(密封) it in a container and wait to see whether it will grow roots. Experts ‘lauded the group for its creative methods and reproduction in large numbers, but they doubt whether the clones will grow as the originals do. Scott Merkle, a professor of forest biology at the University of Georgia, said, “There are so many variables that there’s no certainty that they will be able to survive and perform better than other trees that you plant on the same land”. He added that the age of historic trees makes them difficult to study. “I think it’s a great thing that they’re doing…I just don’t know how realistic it is.” 8. According to the passage, what do the researchers aim to do? A. To clone an ancient tree from its original. B. To save thousands of trees across the Southeast. C. To analyse the effects of climate on tree growth. D. To study the reason for the survival of “Big Tree”. 9. What do we know about the two methods mentioned in paragraph 4? A. Tissue culture is the most frequently used method. B. There is a chance that the branch will fail to grow roots. C. In the first method the live tissue is sealed in a container. D. A mixture of hormones and other chemicals is needed in both methods. 10. What does the underlined word “lauded” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Joined. B. Charged. C. Praised. D. Contacted. 11. What’s Scott Merkle’s attitude to the group’s work? A. Cautious. B. Critical. C. Approving. D. Unclear. D Free-riding means people can benefit from a service without paying anything. It also arises if people can get benefit without making equal contributions. So a free rider always enjoys the benefits of a resource or service while letting someone else do the work or do more work. There are several effects of the free rider problem. The first is the Tragedy (悲剧) of the Commons, a situation in which individuals with access to a public resource act in their own interest and, in doing so, finally use up the resource. For example, imagine that a group of people share a piece of land where they all graze (让……吃草) their cattle. If each person just tries to maximize their own short-term gain, they will let their cattle graze as much as possible. However, if everyone does this, the land will quickly become overgrazed and will not be able to support any cattle. Another effect is that the free rider problem can lead to a situation in which people do not have access to important goods and services. This is because providers may not be able to get back the costs of providing the goods or services if too many people free ride. Imagine that a city decides to build a new hospital through donations. If too many people rely on others to donate, rather than donate themselves, then the hospital may not be built at all. This means that people who need medical care in the area may not have access to it. There are several solutions to the free rider problem. Government addresses the problem by collecting tax dollars to support public services. Theoretically, taxes are related to income, so fair cost-sharing can be achieved. Communities can turn their public resource into a private or club resource, charging fees to make sure everyone who uses it contributes to it. This will limit overuse and, over time, may even lead to altruistic (利他的) behavior. That is, many people may like the idea of making a small contribution to a resource that they use. 12. Which of the following may best show the nature of free-riding? A. Less is more. B. Many hands make light work. C. Let George do it. D. Jack of all trades and master of none. 13. What is one of the effects produced by the free rider problem? A. People tend to maximize their long-term gain. B. A group of people have to share goods and services. C. Individuals overuse a shared resource for personal gain. D. The costs of providing the goods and services are rising. 14. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed? A. By referring to a study. B. By giving an example. C. By making a comparison. D. By explaining a definition. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To draw people’s attention to public services. B. To stress the importance of making donations. C. To inform the readers of the free rider problem. D. To call on the government to solve the free rider problem. 第二节 (共5 小题;每小题2.5分,满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s natural to compare yourself to others, and even envy them, if you hop on your social media for a few minutes.

It was our first day to explore the city of Moscow on our own, without a friend or tour guide leading the way. My husband and I had completed a week-long tour and felt confident that we could wander through the streets by ourselves now. We had enjoyed a full day of exploration when suddenly the sky turned from clear blue to gray. “It’s time to head back!” I said. As we went on along the road to our hotel, Kvart, the storm clouds covered the entire sky, and the first raindrops began to hit our heads. “Should we grab a taxi?” I yelled, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “No, we can make it,” my husband boomed back. “It’s only a twenty-minute walk.” As the rain and wind increased, so did our footsteps. The streets had turned into roaring rivers that quickly soaked our shoes. Suddenly, the biggest eruption of thunder I had ever experienced sounded directly above us! I thought my heart truly stopped for- that moment. We hurried forward, but it wasn’t long before we realized that we had been walking much longer than it should have taken us to reach our hotel. Where on earth did we take the wrong turn? We had not bought international phone cards, so we couldn’t call for help, and the streets were empty. Suddenly we noticed some lights on at a gas station. Great, at least we could ask someone there for help! As we approached it, two men were refueling their Chevrolet car. We asked them how to get to Kvart. They didn’t reply but managed a friendly no d and smile. We went on to explain the situation with the few awkward Russian phrases we had just learned. They listened intently, but it was obvious that they were becoming increasingly confused. We had to try our luck back on the street, praying deep down, “Please, send angels to lead us back.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右;. (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then a familiar Chevrolet-car pulled up besides us... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally they understood what we meant. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5.
